Regents okay hike, favor Pan Am merger
DALLAS, Tex. (AP) — Univer
sity of Texas system regents ap
proved rate increases Monday for all
residence halls, cooperative units
and married student housing at
UT-Austin.
A regents statement said the new
rates are the result of increased
costs to date and projected increases
expected before the end of the year.

The rates for residence hall room
and board rates will go up about 25
per cent while the monthly rate paid
by 12 women’s co-ops will be in
creased 15 to 17.2 per cent and mar
ried student housing rates will be
increased 10 to 32 per cent.
The regents went on record
Monday as favoring a merger with
Pan American University if the
Texas Legislature wants it.
The motion to accept the Lower
Rio Grande Valley university into
the system was unanimous although
regent Tom Law of Fort Worth said
he still “had some questions.”
UT Board Chairman Allan Shiv
ers reiterated the board was only
being receptive to such a merger
and was not on record actively try
ing to bring Pan American under its
wing.
Texas A&I system directors are
on record as wanting Pan Am, lo
cated in Edinburg, in its system, jj;:;
This is seen by many as a move to
thwart the University of Texas from
having a South Texas campus.
Texas A&I has its main campus at >:|:
Kingsville with branches at Corpus JJ:
Christi, Laredo, and a citrus re-
search center in Weslaco.
A&I Board Chairman J. C. Mar- iji:
tin of Laredo backed the A&I resol- :$
ution but said, “I have no desire to $
get into a fight with the University
of Texas. ”
The A&I resolution states:
“Whereas the best interest of edu-
cation in South Texas lies in consoli-
dation of all available resources,
therefore be it resolved that efforts
be initiated toward establishment of JJ
a University System of South Texas jg
including all units of the Texas A&I Ji:
University System, Pan American
University and any future units of
higher education that may be de
veloped in South Texas.”
Shivers said Martin telephoned
him Monday morning to say the
A&I system still wanted Pan Am.
Shivers said he then called Morris
Atlas, past board chairman of Pan
Am and now chairman of its merger
committee. Atlas said the proposed
merger with the A&I system is a
“dead issue.”
Bills to merge Pan Am, which has
more than 7,000 students, into the
UT system are pending in both
legislative houses.
Sen. Raul Longoria of Edinburg
is sponsoring the Senate bill and
Rep. Felix McDonald of Edinburg
is a cosponsor of the House bill.
A committee^ hearing on the
House bill is set Jbr Tuesday night.
In other action Monday, the UT
regents:
—Approved a roaster’s degree in
linguistics for UT-E1 Paso. The re
gents also approved construction
contracts for remodeling of Be
nedict and Worrell Halls.
*—^Approved preparation of pre
liminary plans and cost estimates for
the first phase of remodeling of John
Sealy Hospital at the UT Medical
